Bergman Brothers Series, Book 3

By: Chloe Liese

Narrated by: CJ Bloom, Nelson Hobbs

Buckle up for an emotional journey of hijinks, heartache, and a hot slow-burn in this marriage-in-crisis romance about going the distance to make love last.

Aiden

I've spent 12 years loving Freya Bergman, and 12 lifetimes won't be enough to give her everything she deserves. All I want is to make her happy. But the one thing that will make her happiest is the one thing I'm not sure I can give her: a baby. With the pressure of providing and planning for a family, my anxiety's at an all-time high, and I find myself pulling away, terrified to tell my wife how I'm struggling. But when Freya kicks me out, I realize that pulling back has turned into pushing too far. Now it's the fight of a lifetime to save our marriage.

Freya

I love my cautious, hard-working husband. Until one day I realize the man I married is nowhere to be found. Now Aiden is quiet and withdrawn, and as the months wear on, the pain of our growing distance becomes too much. As if weathering marriage counseling wasn't enough, we're thrown together for an island getaway to celebrate my parents' many years of perfect marriage while ours is on the brink of collapse. Despite my meddling siblings and a week in each other's constant company, this trip somehow gets us working through the trouble in paradise. I just can't help worrying, when we leave paradise and return to the real world, will trouble find us again?

Favorite so far!

This book was so, so freaking good. I loved Freya and Aiden & their commitment to finding their love again. It was such a tender journey and felt so relatable. I of course loved seeing the big Bergman family together (and lovingly meddling). Can’t wait to dive into the next book.

Least favorite of the series

Predictable. A little too over the top. “Fun time” scenes were good. Man cubs had more scenes in this one if you are curious but they are annoying.

An Okay story

It took me a few chapters to get into this book. I almost gave up early on but something made me stay. This was a he’s broken, she’s not kind of story, and it did have some good chapters. I couldn’t really get into many of the characters, but that’s probably because they all have their own stories in other books. So While it had its moments, for me, was just Okay.

Not my favorite for sure

It felt like it was too long and the story was meh. I almost didn’t finish it.

My Favorite

My favorite in the series this far. So real and emotional. Narration was so good, they both brought so much life to these characters.

The Trek Back to their marriage

Loved this story of how they got back to how their marriage was over all great love story!!

Least favorite so far

I’m all for sappy and cheesy but this was next level for me. I could barely finish it.

Deep with major swooning!

è loved all of it. The angst was real, the romance & true love heart thumping and the life lessons, along with the details regarding mental health, addiction and perceptions built from child hood experiences were all beautifully woven together to tell an terrific love story. sigh, sooo good!

Also the female narrator was much better this time. she did not use her little girl sing song voice, but one of a mature woman! It very much helped tell the story properly.

I highly recommend!

I really enjoy these books

Such a cute, fun read. I appreciated the struggles Aiden and Freya went though and their journey to find their way back to each other. Relationships aren't perfect and they can be challenging and I think Chloe Liese captured this so well throughout the entire book. And as always, I loved the disability rep that is written into all of these books.

Cj bloom and Nelson Hobbs

I picked this story because I love Nelson and cj. They are excellent readers. This author is new to me but she won’t be my last. I’m all about romance and this one is no exception. I love the story and chemistry between the H and h. Highly recommend!
